Chapter 142: Music Appreciation Time with Professor Lulu!

R̈​e​&a;d̃& ;ôn K​aț&R;eađin̈gCafẽ

After listening to Jia unnie’s first solo song together, I chatted a bit more before heading home.

I really wanted to stay longer—my heart was practically sky high with the desire—but both unnie and I still had streams to do.

Today, before properly starting my stream, I decided to listen to the solo song again with the Cherries.

Even though I’d already heard it, some Cherries might not have had the chance yet.

“Hehe~ With that in mind, shall we listen together this time?”

• Sure!
• Haven’t heard it yet, let’s go!
• Should we bring Tofu too?
• Tofu join us!

The moment I brought it up, the Cherries demanded Tofu’s presence.

Oh right, Tofu was here too.

Of course! She’s the lady of the house—she has to listen with us.

“Tofu~ Wanna come listen to mommy’s unnie’s song with me?”

“Nyaaa~.”

I hurried to the living room, where Tofu sat regally atop her cat tower.

The moment I spoke, she let out a meow—like she understood—and then…

Hop! Hop!

She leaped down and snuggled right into my arms.

I’m telling you, Tofu definitely understands me. If she took an IQ test, she’d probably score higher than a dolphin.

…Maybe even higher than me.

“Everyone, Tofu’s here too! C’mon, Tofu, say hi to the Cherries~?”

“Nyaaaa~.”

I held the mic close to her, and she let out a sleepy little meow, stretching her mouth wide like a yawn.

She must’ve been dozing off in the sunny spot by the window.

Sorry, Tofu! Just bear with me for the song, then I’ll let you nap.

• It’s Tofu!
• Toha
• To-ha To-ha
• Tofu really understands Lulu so well lol

“Right? It’s almost scary how well she gets me. Yesterday, I told her she couldn’t have treats, and she instantly pouted!”

• LMAOOOO
• That’s wild lol
• Boo, evil axolotl depriving Tofu of treats! Boo!
• Giving too many treats isn’t good anyway…

See? It’s not me being mean.

Some troublemaker Cherries tried to twist it, but they just don’t get cats!

Tofu’s still too young for frequent treats, okay?!

“Anyway, now that Tofu’s here, let’s all listen together! And no spoilers—some Cherries haven’t heard it yet. Got it?”

• Got it!
• Spoilers = BAN!
• Lulu’s not gonna let anything slide today lol
• “Spoil Erin’s MV? Straight to Valhalla.”

Huh?! How’d they know?!

I was planning to be ruthless with spoilers today…

Normally, I let minor spoilers slide when gaming, but not this time.

This isn’t just some AAA game plot—it’s Erin unnie’s solo MV!

One wrong move, and I’m hitting that ban button!

“Alright, let’s begin~!”

Click—

With a silent warning, I played the video.

The same serene melody from earlier filled the room again.

＊＊＊＊＊

After the MV and song wrapped up, I clapped so hard my room echoed, bursting with excitement.

“Everyone! Wasn’t that amazing?! It fits Erin unnie’s voice perfectly, right?!”

• FR
• So good…
• Feels tailor-made for Erin
• That dawn transition gave me chills
• As expected of Blue LUV’s undisputed #1 vocalist

Mhm! They get it!

Even now, I’m still in awe of how perfect this song is.

Jia unnie’s signature low, calming tone blends seamlessly—and the power in her voice during the dawn part? Next-level.

“The MV’s packed with details too! Like this early part—”

I rewound to the beginning, where Erin walks down a night path.

“See how she’s smaller here, and she checks her phone? A map flashes for a second. That means something. It’s her younger self—she knows her destination but not the path. She’s lost.”

Then, I skipped to another scene—Erin stepping onto a new night path.

“Later, she grows slightly taller and walks without checking the map. That’s her declaring, ‘I’ll walk my own path.’ Not in a bad way—she’s choosing her own direction.”

• Ooh
• Makes sense
• Didn’t catch that

This isn’t some behind-the-scenes info—just my interpretation based on what unnie shared.

But I swear it fits.

“Then, she keeps walking through night, never finding dawn. First, she followed others’ paths and failed. Then her own path—still no dawn. She starts thinking, ‘Maybe I’ll never escape this night.’”

• Damn lol
• Your analysis is wild
• Kinda hits close to home…

It’s a super relatable struggle, so many Cherries resonated with it.

That’s the power of Jia unnie’s song—it moves people.

“Now, watch this part—she stops looking at the stars. Earlier lyrics mention her always searching for them, but now? She doesn’t even glance up. Why? She’s doubting, ‘Is this even the right path?’”

• CHILLS
• How are you this perceptive?!
• I just watched mindlessly—now I’m shook

Same! At first, I just enjoyed it.

But after watching the MV a hundred times, I started seeing Erin’s story in it.

The deeper I dug, the more layers I found.

Though I’m not sure how Jia unnie would feel about my take.

“Next, a faint dawn light appears—but Erin slows down. She hesitates. That’s the fear of ‘What if this isn’t the light I’ve been searching for?’”

• You sound like a film critic lol
• This MV is next-level
• It’s literally Erin’s life story…

Exactly!

Out of all of Blue LUV’s songs, I rank this MV #1 for a reason.

Every frame, every detail—it bleeds Erin’s journey.

That’s hard to pull off.

“Here’s another cool detail: When the members reunite at dawn, their symbols are missing. No A-chan for me, no hairpin for Yukiko, no sword for Lilith unnie, no crown for Lucretia unnie.”

• Ohhh
• Didn’t notice!
• Thought they were just casual

Casual?! No way—it’s foreshadowing!

“And when Erin hugs us, she’s in her goddess form—but her laurel necklace is gone. So where does it appear?”

I skipped to the ending, where we all stand together.

“Here! Our symbols are back. Meaning: At dawn, she found people to dream with—but the dream wasn’t realized yet. We worked hard together to get where we are now!”

• WOAH
• Mind blown
• This analysis is insane
• Even the MV director would clap

Hehe~ Glad it made sense!

I’d love to do this for other members’ MVs too.

[‘BlackCat’ donated 10,000 KRW for snacks!]

• BREAKING: Goddess Erin is sobbing after hearing Lulu’s analysis lol

“WH—HUH?! ERIN UNNIE’S CRYING?! WHY?!”

Mid-celebration, this bombshell dropped.

I frantically asked the Cherries for context.

Wait—unnie was secretly watching?! And she cried?!

She seemed fine earlier when we listened together!

• Said she teared up thinking about your words
• “Lulu understands me so well—thank you”
• She’s genuinely touched

“R-Really? I’m glad, but… I feel weird for making her cry.”

• You did make her cry tho
• Boo, evil Lulu making the eldest unnie cry! Boo!
• Didn’t expect Lulu to be a tear-jerker ;-;

N-No! I didn’t mean to!

How was I supposed to know she’d watch—or cry?!

Stop twisting thissss!

“Anyway, let’s listen five more times before streaming properly! I’ve got way more details to share~ Hehe.”

• ?
• FIVE TIMES?!
• There’s more?!
• Professor, I’m dropping this class…

Hey! No escaping!

Sit back down—I’m dissecting every brilliant detail!

“See, the lyrics have layered meanings too, especially the intro…”

What was supposed to be a 30-minute session stretched to two hours.

That day, I proved myself not just as Blue LUV’s Lulu—but as Star Piece’s ultimate analyst.

Hmph! I didn’t even get to half of what I wanted to say…

Next time, I’ll go even deeper!
